What an experience!! Tonight was my first time at the sandwich giveaway. I think that I am going to make it a regular thing. I think that God may have just called me out to do this. It was a nice, chilly night and Terry thought it smelled like snow. We packed up the food in the wagons and off we went. I didn't know what I was doing so I just went with the flow and followed the others.
It made me feel really good handing this out for those less fortunate than myself. It makes me realize that my problems are truly petty. They may not feel that way to me and they weigh me down daily but at the same time I saw that there are more people out there that need help than me and my silly little problems.
It made me feel good and made me feel like we were truly doing God's work. I have had experience with working with the sick and elderly but this was so much different. I really enjoyed it.
Afterwards we went up to Tim Hortons. You know what? Tonight, today and yesterday are truly times filled with blessings for me. For the first time in a really long time I was able to laugh. Real laughter too, not just the fake stuff I have come accustomed to pulling lately. Not the fake smile that I try to pull while saying "I'm fine." No - real smiles. I am putting myself out there and am starting to be vulnerable and letting God take care of me. He is doing it too.
That's what church and God is all about - isn't it? Spreading God's word and helping those that need it. It was an awesome experience and I can't wait to do it again.

I was going to come out too, but then thought that there would be so many other people out there. so i didn't go. I was even all ready to leave at 5:15pm but I didn't. I made myself believe that I wasn't going to go because there would be too many people helping out and that was one topic at a meeting we had a while ago. too many helpers. I will be there on street church night though, even if it is just to try and get to know some faces that walk in.
great to hear you had a good time. I always have a good time when I go out with the team.
glad you came out misty.
